I only had 2 beds to donate and I was so glad to find an organization that would take them for a reasonable price within just a few days. The gentlemen that came to the house were punctual, pleasant, and kind. A pleasure to deal with this organization. read more

The BEST! Eddie and Jackson were wonderful. They came on time, were polite, and personable. To me it was a big job but they made it seem like nothing. Thank you. lbs read more

This is a great thrift shop that you can find some real deals if you just look. They have a constant flow of items that come and go so grab it while you can. They also always have tags that are a different discount amounts 25%, 50%, and 75%. It rotates the different percentages each week so check the board when you walk in. As other reviews say, there are no clothes at this location and you should be sure to visit the furniture store and also the home goods section. The store is very well organized and clean in comparison to a lot of thrift shops. read more

Update They no longer sell clothes, accessories, purses, has, or hats. I was looking for jackets and active wear for the spring. To my dismay, they stopped selling them. They've given away the majority of the clothes by now. Their reason was that they weren't profiting in sales. Now, the warehouse has a more open layout. The first warehouse sells housewares that's ridiculously overpriced. Depending on the day, they'll have a market down sale according to the color of the price tag. Like yellow tags are 50% off. It was still expensive, and I was looking for a rice cooker to no avail. I saw a used Hamilton Beach crock pot for $30?!! No sales, like that's pretty steep, despite that someone donated and its used! The majority of staff are nice and helpful. I'm just disappointed that they don't do clothes anymore, and don't like their mark up tactics. Best time to shop here is follow them on IG, see which color tag is on sale, and shop. read more

Plenty of parking and nearby another thrift shop as well (Insanity Thrift). There's two parts to the thrift store: 1) Furniture area (some are only $15) 2) Home goods No clothes here. This is definitely a jackpot for finding affordable furniture. This thrift shop has the most amount of furniture I have seen yet! There's also two drum sets that they are selling. If I had a house, I would definitely consider shopping here to save some money! In addition, the home goods part is running 50% off on all tags. It ranges from sewing machines to regular home decor to hair stuff to yoga mats to golf equipment to hardware to cooking tools. In addition, there is also a section for clothing. Each item is individually priced. The serving trays are on the pricier side - 25-40$ - from what I've seen. The staff is friendly and approached me several times asking if I had any questions. Given what it has, it's quite a large thrift store with a lot of hidden finds. I would probably visit mainly during their sales. Overall, underrated thrift stores. read more

I have used Donation Nation a few times and each pick-up is just as good as the last one. The staff is always friendly, courteous and professional. They take everything, except gasoline. I highly recommend using this company because they treat your donation items carefully. If you especially have items you can't use any longer but could use a new home this is the company to use. They also take junk as well and will dispose of it properly. Just like their website says " they recycle and reuse". Believe or not they are cheaper then the other junk removal companies and you get a tax deduction. read more

High quality were fast response. Great attention to detail. These guys are great! We will definitely come back.

Awesome thrift store, can be both high and low pricing, hidden gem. Highly recommended

Easygoing and well organized place with great staff. They also provide resale opportunities. Drop offs easy as well

Great customer service, Ashley is the greatest! Lots of great finds ! Highly recommend for any picker! read more

Donation Nation - The warehouse located in Rockville - Junk Removal & Hauling Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

This place is wildly expensive and the quality is questionable. I am not sure they are running a service here if people are donating items which they turn around and sell for an outrageous amount of money., making it inaccessible for those with limited incomes. Not a great model for a circular economy. Even dolls which were dirty and disheveled were priced as if they were collectibles in pristine condition. Instead of supporting this business, please shop and spend your money at places which share their profits with the community like Planet Aid Thrift. read more

This good will place is a hidden gem in Gaithersburg, just outside of Rockville near Shady Grove Rd. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, and the manager even helps load heavy items into your car. Check them out if you're a second-hand type of person! read more

I mean are you kidding me with this gem???? If you have not visited yet - stop by! If you are looking for gifts for the holidays or just goodies for yourself - stop by! Before visiting, I had a $60 aerobics step in my Amazon cart and then I stoped by got a BETTER step for...wait for it...$5! Does it get any better than that?? The more you buy, the more of a discount you get!!! It is mostly open meaning you are not in a stuffy building so if you are worried about going into buildings, this is the place for you!!! Their goal is to keep working things out of the landfill so stop by!!! read more

Excellent prices, great selection, and wonderful service. Highly recommended. The type of business is sustainably minded.

Donation Nation should not advertise itself as a recycler or landfill waste reducer when they can't suggest what to do with items they won't take, and make that explicit on their website to save people who drive to their drop off location time. read more

Awesome. I contacted Donation Nation, we set up an appointment, they showed up on time, and took my furniture donation. I would use them again and recommend them highly. read more

This is an amazing service. They really do take anything and everything! The fee you pay them is tax deductible - it's based on the percentage of the truck fill. They also send you the itemized receipt for your donations, so you don't need do it! I like that they resell or better yet donate to a local charity. They are on time and lovely people to work with. read more

If you're tired of your stuff going into a landfill, Donation Nation is the place to call. They will either resell it themselves or donate it to a local charity. Since they are a 501(c)3 organization themselves they allow your donated items to be a tax deduction - gotta love that! What they're doing for you, though, is just getting rid of all your stuff that you don't want anymore. The best part is they'll take anything including paint and electronics. The catch is that they charge to remove the stuff from your house. Same deal with other haulers - they charge. However the charge is very nominal and you get the tax deduction. So it really offsets the cost. Big time. The guys who came and picked up my love seat and couch were right on time (when they said they would be there) and they were in and out in about 20 minutes. I highly recommend this company if you're at all concerned about the environment and want your discarded stuff to be put to use by someone else. read more

Great company for helping others and recycling unused items. Everyone feels good when you use Donation Nation.Very courteous and compassionate. Highly recommend! read more

Drove to their site yesterday to drop off some items. They would not accept them, said that their site was too full for the day, and turned me away. read more

Five star service here folks! Habitat never returned my calls, the Salvation Army had me scheduled out for over a week, but not only did Donation Nation call me back in a few hours, but they worked with my schedule... Imagine. I requested that they show at a particular time & lo and behold a truck was sitting in my driveway at that time. Amazing! Charles, the owner & chief hauler is pleasant, charming, & professional. I've moved a lot of stuff in my day & Charles & Brian were some of the best; no dings, no hitting walls, no mud on my carpets. The best part is your stuff is professionally removed & then recycled back into the community to folks who really need quality items but can't attain them. Charles also provided me with a personalized receipt for my tax returns on the spot. I'm so happy I called Donation Nation to haul my stuff! read more

I have clothes that I wanted to have picked up as donation , and i am a senior citizen, who can't get it there myself and I am applauded that a donation pick-up company would charge the amount of money they are asking for, with their impression of HELPING PEOPLE and also at the FAIR MARKET PRICE . That ludicrous. Come on these donations are for people who are in possible unfortunate situations and in need. How greedy can they be and where is your feeling of decency for people in need! God forbid that one day them or a family member is in the position of the people in need. read more

What a game. First, the showed up with a U-Haul and not their Green Truck . The U-Haul was smaller. The website says clearly that they charge by the square ft. The two guys looked at the stuff and told me that they were charging by the % that my stuff would take up in the truck! We argued as the Website clearly says Sq ft and if they show up with a smaller truck than my stuff takes up a greater % of that truck. On top of that they packed the truck so my items took up more space. We argued for some time and I finally agreed as I needed to continue my day. It was two young guys and they said if I called the office to speak to a supervisor the call would just forward to them. Dead end. I gave them one because I had to and because they showed up on time and waited for me and they removed the items without damaging anything, I felt ripped off and cheated. Veteran run does not mean honest in this case. read more

Great resale shop, quality stuff you pay for by the pound, they will quote you great prices for the bigger furniture and had tons of stuff id have loved to buy if I was not in between moves, we did find a pair of new rebocks for him and some ice trays, the total was $1.20. Profits go to charity and the staff was wonderful? I'll be back when I have more space to fill. read more

Amazing resale place. Cheapest thrift style store around. Great management. It is a real laid back place. Don't go and expect it not to be. You will find some of the best deals here. I got some furniture and picture frames and artwork that was a steal. I almost don't want to leave a review so I won't be competing with people to get the really good stuff. Some of the quality of the furniture isn't good but some of it is amazing and it is cheaper than any other thrift store around. New stuff every weekend. It is a really fun place to go. read more

I cannot say enough nice things about Donation Nation. Prompt, polite, professional, efficient, and accurate with their estimate. Charles and Jackson cleared out my father's apartment in less than an hour. They were prepared with tools and were able to remove curtain rods and shelf brackets - even though neither was on our original list of donations. When they say that they will take everything, they mean it. read more

So I was so excited to hear about this place who would come to remove items from the home. Unfortunately I am tasked with dismantling my 84 year old, dementia ridden, stepfather's two bedroom apartment. I am donating two thirds, including clothing, small kitchen appliances, suitcases, about two hundred DVDs, 100 CDs, desk, 20 pairs of shoes and boots, all in brand new condition, office and school supplies etc, etc. I am doing this alone and I am 63 years old with back problems. So it sounded perfect. then I find out it will cost me $200 for the pick up. SERIOUSLY? I am donating about $3,000 worth of good stuff and I have to PAY YOU to come and get it? SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS. read more

I got nearly all my furniture here and have beautiful marble tables I get compliments on all the time, as well as some nice rugs, a pull-out couch and suede loveseat. I got delivery for only $75 each time. Great people, fair pricing and beautiful items. I don't blame them for not wanting to deliver the piano, but they were offering to give it away for free. No one wants to move a piano though! :( lol read more

The people are friendly and willing to help you. The prices are outstanding. There are some real gems here.

Donation Nation was a godsend for my best friend since college. She was facing the overwhelming task of clearing her childhood home of 50+ years of accumulated "stuff". Her mother who had been in declining health had unfortunately become a hoarder in the last 10 years of living in the home. Charles was the hero of this sad scenario. He provided an incredibly accurate estimate of what it would take to clean out this 2,400 sq. ft. home. Despite the short notice, the terrible condition of the contents of the house, he managed to pull together a team of 8 workers and 3 double sized trucks that spent 9+ hours working like sled dogs non-stop in one day to completely clear out this house. I don't know of any other service that would have undertaken this job and gotten it done so efficiently. They got the job done in a single day to accommodate my friend who had flown in from out of town to get this done. It was wonderful to know that anything that could be salvaged would be and then donated to people that were truly in need. The cost of the service was not cheap but was worth every penny!!! The cost is tax deductible and they also provide a list of denotable items for tax purposes. Thank you Charles for your compassion in dealing with a very difficult emotional situation and for doing a fantastic job in every way. This is an awesome service that I would recommend to any and every one that needs this type of service. read more

Love the Donation Nation store!! Not only it's the cheapest thrift store I've been, but I found awesome great quality furniture and a bunch of kitchen stuff they sell by the pound. The staff are very nice and they even helped me load my stuff to my car. Great place! read more

I arranged for donation nation to pick up a sleeper sofa and a few other items from my mothers apartment today. They were on time (even a little early), professional, efficient and super nice. I am definitely going to call them to pick up donation items from my house. Highly recommend! read more

Highly recommend Donation Nation, entire experience was smooth and professional from start to finish. Great communication, rapid booking/scheduling, weekend availability, courteous, hard-working, and efficient crew. It's nice to know that everything that can be donated will go to good use. read more

Wonderful! They sent three men to remove 40 years of 'stuff'' from my mother's home. Very courteous, thorough, and prepared. Brought about 50 large bins, some large bags and carried it all away! Love the idea that all my mother's treasures will be recycled and loved by new owners. Took about 2 hours and they left no debris! Would definitely use them again. read more

Very easy to work with! We submited our request online and they called us the same day. We had a bunch of appliances to donate from a house we recently purchased and were renovating, they took care of everything. Very happy with the service. read more

I have called upon Donation Nation multiple times and the do the best job that I could have hoped for. They take great care of the items and your home! read more

When we decided to move, we didn't want to move most of our existing furniture and household items. Most of this stuff was in good condition and in working order, so we didn't want to throw it away. After looking at a number of charities, I was really disheartened. Most would take a few items, but none of them were willing to take everything. I was at the point of looking a junk dealers when I stumbled across Donation Nation. The men who came out were very professional and courteous. I had so much stuff, that at first they said that I'd have to schedule a second truck. However, through their diligent arrangement of the items, they were able to pack it all in a very full truck. I also was very pleased that they gave me a detailed receipt for the items, which is way different the other charities that just give you a blank receipt. I've already told several of my neighbors and friends about the great experience I had with Donation Nation. read more
